6100019566 Car Wash Services

The City of San Antonio Police Department is soliciting bids for monthly express car wash services for SAPD fleet vehicles under IFB 6100019566, with bids due August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Vendors may bid on one, multiple, or all SAPD substations; the City reserves sole discretion to award per substation, per group of substations, or citywide.

Services must deliver automated express basic car wash including two pre-soaks, high-pressure rinse, spot-free rinse, and drying system. Facilities must maintain a minimum 7.2-foot height clearance with sufficient width for dual-rear-wheel vehicles, operate during normal business hours with capacity for multiple daily uses per vehicle, and remain in good working condition. Critically, the scope requires secure, independent use by SAPD personnel without on-site vendor coordination — indicating either fully automated access or pre-arranged protocols that eliminate vendor presence during use.

All forms in the solicitation, including Local Preference, Veteran-Owned, and other preference program documentation, must be completed and submitted by all respondents regardless of whether the vendor qualifies for specific preference programs. The solicitation does not specify pricing terms, contract term duration, set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or estimated contract value.

A pre-bid conference was held July 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time via WebEx (attendance optional but encouraged); the Pre-Submittal Conference Sign-in Sheet is posted separately. Vendors must register on the SAePS portal to view the complete solicitation and submit responses. The applicable UNSPSC category is Vehicle Washing Systems, Automatic, Stationary (07596). Contact Procurement Specialist II Rafael Zapata at Rafael.Zapata@sanantonio.gov; for SAePS portal registration assistance, contact Vendor Support at (210) 207-0118 or vendors@sanantonio.gov. Addendum VI (issued June 26, 2026) revised Section 4.2.1 facility specifications to establish the 7.2-foot height clearance requirement.
